Of course, PKD lovers have already bought and read the book :-) :-)
I do recommend it, at least to PKD fans. One of the interesting bits
is near the end, where he talks about how the literary style in the
New Testament, at least in (I think) Acts or Luke, is more modern than
antique -- in that it has descriptions of character's internal
thoughts. Now Phil is probably full of sh.t, but still, for a minute I
was caught up in his "wait a minute, there's something very wierd
going on here, things do not add up, what we've been told is
self-contradictory and therefore obviously false" paranoiac
thinking. Which, I suppose, other authors are capable of as
well... :-)
